The configuration address space has so far been specified in *ranges*,
however it should be specified in *reg* making it a platform MEM resource.
Hence used 'platform_get_resource_*' API to get configuration address
space in the designware driver.

Why should the cfg space be defined in *reg* instead of ranges?
Because what you end up using is a struct resource to represent the cfg space and
the conversion between ranges and resources breaks down for CFG space (we don't
have a flag in the resource flags to say this is CFG resource). Specifying it
as a *reg* property makes it a MEM resource and no special casing is needed.

Best regards,
Liviu
Just because the kernel doesn?t handle this is NO reason to change the way the DT works.

We are probably better of changing of_bus_pci_get_flags() to set IORESOURCE_MEM for cfg type.  Will send a patch for this.
